Is This Salmongate?

This may not rise to the level of a ”gate” designation but that North Country fishing guide, who was pulled over for allegedly drunk driving after he narrated aÂ TV ad criticizing 48th SD Republican candidate William Barclay’s family, is talking to theÂ Palladium-Times newspaper in Oswego, noting that aÂ Republican county lawmaker came to his house with a friend and some “really strong Candian beer.”

One thing led to another and the guide, Justin Winkle early the next day found himself being pulled over by police and he’s now wondering if he’d been set up for his criticism in the TV commercial which was later pulled when he admitted that Democratic candidate, and eventual winner Darrel Aubertine’s handlers had scripted the spot.
